veil in its way. and is entitled to a posi-
ton on every well regulated toilet stand;
but its usefulness is very limited. It
serves only to give fieeting polish to the

teeth that ever knew anything about

PloTed as an assistant. He was 81 years

had never used a toothbrush In his life.

: The shores of the Caspian abound in
anaphtha springs extending for miles
under the sea, the imprisoned gases of
this volatile Substance often escaping
from assures IN its bed and bubbling up
i'm large volumes to the surface. This
5circumstance has given rise to the prac-
atice of fssetting the sea on fire, - which
is thus described by modern traveller:
''Hfring steam barge we put out to
sea, and, after lengthy search, found a
suitable spot. Our boat having moved
round to windward, a sailor threw a.
bundle of burning flax into the sea, when
floods of light dispelled the surrounding
darkness. No fireworks, no illumina-
tons, are to be compared to the sight
that presented itself to our gaze. 1t was
as though the sea trembled convulsively
amid thousands of shooting, dancing
tongues Of fame of prodigious size. Now
they emerged from the water, now they
disappeared. AT one time they scared
aloft and melted away; at another gust
of wind divided them into bright streaks
of flame, the foaming, bubbling pillows
making music to the scene. In COM
pliance with the wishes of some of the
spectators our barge was steered toward
the flames and passed through the. midst
of them, a Somewhat dangerous expert
ment, as the barge was employed in the
transport of naphtha and was pretty well
saturated with the fluid. However, we
escaped without accident and gazed for
am hour longer on the tlnwonted spectacle
of a sea on fire. Moscow Vedumosti.

Curious Custom i'm Java.

A curious custom of the natives of
Java in the neighborbood of the. Brono
volcano is recorded ia The Straits Times,
of Singapore. 1t is said that whenever
an eruption takes place the natives. as
soon as the fire (tie molten lava. no
doubt, is meantI comes down the molln-s
tain, kindle at it the wood they use as
fuel for cooking. They keep in the fire
thus made for years, and whenever it
goes out through neglect or for any other
reason, they never kindle it anew from
matches, hut theyget light from their
nearest neighbors, whose fire was orig
lnally obtained from the volcano. The
fires in use mp to the late outburst in the,
native cooking places We're all obtained
from the Bromo eruption of 1872

Fires from steam lpipes.

With each Occurring fan and winter
the question Of possibility of fires from
steam pipes becomes one of importance.
As the most insidious diseases are usually
most 10 be feafed, so the most occult
causes of fire are among those which
should be most carefully looked after. It
Is very well known that wood, after re-
manning for some time In contact with
steam, hot AIR or hot water pipes, be-
comes carbonizei on the surface and to a
short distance fellow. The charcoal, of
course, readily xidizes. When steam is
not in the pipes the charcoal viii absorb
moisture. When again heated the moist
IRE is driven out, leaving vacuum, into
which the fresh air current, circulating
around the pipes. readily penetrates. It
impartS oxygen to the charcoal, causes a
more rapid rise in the temperature, till
finally the point of ignition is reached.
The rl1sting of the pipes, if it occurs,
might also conduce to the same result,
the rust being reduced by the heat of the
steam to condition m which It VIII alb

Gray Loads in Congress.

There Is a great deal of old material
vet in congress, despite the fact that
many of the statesmanic landmarks have
been removed during the past few years.
In the senate, Morrill,, of Vermont stands
out as the oldest man, being 76 years of
age, while his colleague, Eimunds is 6S.
Payne, Of Ohio, Is also 20 years old, but
falls short of Morrill, by seven months.
Dawes. of Massachusetts,, is 40, although
he docs not look So. Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina; Evarts, of New York,
and Sawyer, of Wisconsin, have with
stood the blasts of 6S winters and the
heat of as many summers. Eyarts looks
much the oldest Of the trio. Conger, of
Michigan, Is spry, but has worn SO years.
Wilson, of Maryland, and Brown, of
Georgia, are each 50, while Beck. Of
kentucky, is 81. Pugh, of Alabama, is
from Delaware, is SO, and looks it.
There is no one In the house SO old as
the two oldest senator's. Judge Kelley,
the father Of the house, the venerable
Pennsyi vania protectionist, leads the list.
BE is 70. But Eldridgc. of Michigan, it
is said, is quite as old. Plumb, of
Illinois, is 10 while the directory records
Waite, of Connecticut, at rs, which must
be an error. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Is
go. Reagan, the ex7confedcrate post
master general and treasurer, the pride of
Texas, is GO, as is also Singleton, of Mis-
sisSippi. Barbour, of Virginia, Sc; ditto
Lindsey, of New York. Charley o Neil,
of Pennsylvania, is 50; Wadsworth, of
New York, the same, and Geddes, of
Ohio, makes up good SO. The old men
IN the senate seem to be much more aged
in actions than those IN the hopse.-
